RE: NTUser.Dat error when translatin profiles on workstation

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

Some workarounds:

1. Walking to those machines and changing the registry permissions when
logged on
as Administrator and adding the Windows 2003 user w/Full Control
permissions, and
then changing the pointer to the Profilelist to the original location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

and changing the ProfileImagePath entry.

2. You could use the File and Settings Transfer wizard (if you're using
Windows XP)
or the User State Migration Tool for Windows 2000/XP clients.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
